The radiology tech has been in for just a minute speaking with me when Holly walks back into the room. I sign their papers and Holly helps to get Nicolas prepped for the ride down to have the test done.

"Okay little man. Do you want me to go with you?" Holly asks Nicolas as his bed wheels are unlocked for the roll down.

"No, I think I will do it alone this time and if it gets scary I know they will call you to me." Nicolas smiles at her and it warms my heart.

He has done so well and didn't even take a morning nap after Holly brought the toys in for him to play with. It honestly felt like it did when we were home before with his show playing and him watching it some while playing away. I can't wait for the day he is doing that again but with his own toys and actually at home.

I give Nicolas a hug and he gives me a high five like we have done before he leaves the room.

Holly closes the door once he is rolled out of the room, and then spins to face me. She smiles wide and I give her one back.

"Seems we finally have a moment alone and no eyes around." Holly whispers.

I walk up to her pressing her back against the door slowly. "It seems we do." I smirk.

Taking my chance, I close in on her lips and claim them with my own. My tongue diving in to taste and explore her mouth in no time with how she opens for me on instinct. Holly pulls her head to the side some, needing to break the kiss to get much needed oxygen into her lungs. I don't need it as my lips make a trail of kisses on her jaw to the back of her ear and explore further down to her neck for the first time.

Holly is my oxygen right now and I can't get enough of her. With everything she does, my heart has grown for her and holds the same amount of space in me just as Nicolas does. I already fell in love with her more than I thought possible.

Her hands hold onto my shoulders and the sweet moans that leave her mouth has me painfully hard. With a groan, I pull back and she kisses my lips again gently holding so many emotions behind it.

We pull away and take some deep breaths as I have no doubts she is wet for me. There is nothing I would give to feel her and worship her body. My hope is that I can one day because once Nicolas is discharged I will find a way to date her properly if she lets me and I think she would agree.

"Is it true what you told Nicolas earlier?" My voice comes out a little hoarse while I am still worked up.

"Yes it is Jack. You both hold a special place in my heart that I have never felt for anyone before." Her cheeks turn pink.

"You do for me as well." I smile and kiss her lips again.

"I never thought I would feel like this again losing my wife and never even looked because I just focused on Nicolas."

"I have read and seen loads of movies on how love finds the ones who aren't always looking. I used to think it was corny and not true, but I know it is now."

"Holly I can't thank you enough for everything you have done. You gave Nicolas the fighting chance and now it looks like he is going to get to be a normal little boy again."

"We will know more after this scan but it does look like he is going to be out of the woods. If this scan comes back good then you guys will be leaving right after the first of the year once the time period of making sure no infections occur."

I go to respond but her phone starts ringing. Holly pulls it from her pocket and looks at it.

"I have to go Jack. A patient needs me." She hurries out and I move opening the door for her.

"Go do what you do best by saving others." I smile and she takes off.

I close the door back and walk to the couch. Sitting down I rub my face, my mind goes over the talks we have shared and how she knows more about me than anyone has in a long time.

Holly knows how I lost my parents at a young age and lived in foster homes. How I came to meeting Tony and my late wife in the the foster homes. She even knows about Nicolas's birth because we got to laughing how it all happened.

I have literally told her everything about me in the last month and she has told me many things about herself. We know each others birthdays, likes and dislikes, hobbies which got us to doing the things we do to make money.

There has been so much time spent talking while she was monitoring Nicolas before getting other patients. It just feels right with her. Which is why I am now trying to figure out how to date her after we are out of here. Because she can't give me her personal cell phone number while we are here.

Not to mention, I have to talk with Nicolas and make sure that he is okay with me dating Holly once he is outside of here. He knows that we have kissed, as I have been honest with him. I don't hide things from my son and never will unless it involves his safety, but he seemed more than happy when I told him I have kissed her the few times. That was something he asked randomly last week and has known since, but knows he can't tell anyone so that she doesn't lose her job.

With everything racing through my mind and no sure ways of knowing what to actually do, I grab my computer. For now I will work on picture edits and the cards that still have a extremely close deadline where families came in last minute to Tony wanting them done within a few days notice.

Nicolas returns and smiles big.

"I done it Daddy and all by myself."

"Way to go Buddy!" I high five him as the radiologist gets his bed locked back in place.
